no gui umount in default installation

[Duncan Lithgow]

The default installation of Dapper does not provide a gui method of unmounting media. When I introduce my USB external HD it is automounted, when I'm finished I have to resort to a terminal and issue 'umount /media/usbdisk'

Default behaviour could be an unmount option in the right click context menu anywhere where the automounted media is dislayed, but especially under places and in nautilus.

This may be a feature request, but I don't know where else to put it.

one can unmount the usbdrives (same way as ejecting cd/dvd)
go to Places->Computer (or nautilus menu: Go-> Computer)
right click on the usbdrive you want to unmount. at the bottom of the pop up menu select 'unmount Volume'

if you have the icons for your usbdrives on the desktop you can do the same thing there.
it works fine for me.

are you using gnome?
with my external usb drives (maxtor 150go, mp3 MuVo 4g0, sony dscl1 camera)
As mgut said, It is easy to umount them by just right clicking --> Démonter le volume (yes i'm french)

So i don't really understand your request.
if you are a gnome user please close your request by settinf stauts to rejected and severity to wishlist

Mattius and tenshu,
I am using gnome 2.10 as kept up to date by ubuntu. If I left click 'Places > 4.9 GB Volume' (the USB volume in question) it opens in nautilus. If I do the same but right click - again it opens in nautilus. What I am asking for is what I expect to see, namely, that a right click on 'Places > someorotherremovablemedia' gives me an unmount/remove option.

Basically I guess I want the functionality of the Disk Mounter applet. I am now aware of how I could/ should have been doing this, by going into 'Places > Computer'. But when I used nautilus to navigate to /media and tried everything I could think of, unmounting was not an option that turned up anywhere. It never occured to me that 'Places > Computer' would give any different functionality.

What I'm now looking for is whether it could behave the way I expected it too, that is if my expectation is reasonable and founded on reasonable assumptions about where to find this option.

So, what'dya think - can it be done? Is it a good idea?

One task is enough for that
